• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FK131 - No more than 3600 public holidays can be created ?

  The SAP error message FK131, which states "No more than 3600 public holidays can be created," typically occurs when the system has reached the maximum limit of public holiday definitions that can be maintained in the system. This limit is set to ensure system performance and manageability.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the number of public holiday entries in the system has exceeded the maximum allowed limit of 3600. This can happen if there are numerous public holidays defined for various countries, regions, or specific organizational units.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Existing Public Holidays: Check the existing public holiday definitions in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction code (e.g., SM30 for table maintenance) and reviewing the entries in the public holiday table (usually T005 or T005D).
  
  
  Delete Unused or Redundant Entries: If you find that there are public holiday entries that are no longer needed or are duplicates, consider deleting them to free up space. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletions.
  
  
  Consolidate Public Holidays: If there are multiple entries for similar holidays (e.g., different regions having the same holiday), consider consolidating them into fewer entries if possible.
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments: If your organization has custom developments or enhancements that create public holiday entries dynamically, review those to ensure they are not creating excessive entries.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide guidance on managing public holidays.
  
  
  Increase the Limit (if applicable): In some cases, it may be possible to increase the limit through configuration or by applying specific SAP Notes. However, this is generally not recommended without thorough testing and consideration of system performance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SM30, SM31, or SE11 to view and manage the public holiday definitions.
  Public Holiday Configuration: Public holidays are typically configured in the SAP system under the "Public Holiday Calendar" settings, which can be accessed through the IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed instructions on managing public holidays and understanding the implications of having too many entries.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance.
